Why QAT Global for IT Staffing Needs?

Technical Expertise- Connections to Highly Skilled IT Consultants – Customized Service

QAT Global is a leading Nebraska-based provider of project and/or strategic staffing service solutions that augment our clients’ current technical staff for internal project needs in both custom and packaged solution environments and across all technology platforms, operating systems and infrastructures. QAT Global prides itself on the ability to provide a well-rounded staff of Senior, Mid-Range, and Junior- level talent to meet specific staff augmentation needs. QAT Global’s consulting areas of expertise include systems architecture, project management, business analysis, application development, database development/administration, quality assurance/testing, documentation and customer care specialists. QAT Global’s 100 + IT professionals have provided services for more than 25 customers, including eight state governments.

QAT Global collaborates with our customers to consistently and cost-effectively plan, execute and deliver high-quality, seasoned consultants who develop trusted, long-term relationships and provide extensive experience and value to our clients. Understanding the responsibilities the contractor will be assigned is critical to our client’s success. We are experts and, as such, guarantee the talent delivered will meet the specific needs. In addition, QAT Global has strong relationships with successful and proven technology vendors, enabling QAT Global to remain objective while working with clients to determine the most appropriate technology and services to meet their business needs.

QAT Global’s ability to consistently provide excellent customer service and an extensive offering of services and solutions have resulted in significant repeat business from local and international government and commercial organizations.

Recruiting

QAT Global’s recruiting philosophy is to provide high-quality IT professionals to our clients and adhere to a strict process to ensure that the appropriate consultant is identified for each customer requirement. As an IT Services provider founded and managed by former consultants, the fundamental tenets necessary to ensure client satisfaction, be they public or private sector, consistently remain the same. We have several processes in place to ensure that a candidate meets not only QAT Global’s high expectations but also meets the client’s needs.

Specifically, QAT Global’s recruiting processes and procedures are designed to provide information helpful in determining if a candidate is appropriate for us as well as our client, identify interpersonal skills consistent with our client’s expectations and verify that their technical aptitude meets all qualification requirements. The ability to hit the ground running with real business expertise can be a significant differentiator and enhancement for the typical QAT Global candidate. The screening process for the determination of best-fit candidates is rigorous. QAT Global uses both standard testing procedures and then, when applicable, Question & Answer specifically authored by QAT Global personnel. Employee referrals are also highly encouraged. Like-minded consultants to those already on staff incrementally reduce any question of possible new contractor risk.

QAT Global’s recruiting team meets each morning to assess the developments of the previous day and determine and delegate action items and priorities accordingly. Upon receipt of a new staffing request, they will initially screen internal employees and contacts and, within one business day, determine what is defined as “Internal Candidate Status.” Ideally, ICS will provide a resource(s) that hold a background like that which the client seeks.

QAT Global also invests in those databases found to yield the best pool of candidates outside the internal network of the company. Along with those databases most commonly used, QAT Global utilizes a software solution incorporating client, candidate and resume tracking into one relational database. Client management in the system includes profiling, organizational hierarchy, the population of information such as address and contact numbers and the ability to match candidates with related skill sets as requested via the Task Order. We believe that to provide the best possible service, we must react quickly and decisively. When Human Resources is forced to step outside ICS, this vehicle provides our recruiters the best odds for finding an experienced IT consultant. The average number of total IT professionals within the database is on average 25,000 plus.

Retention

QAT Global recognizes consultants that clients consider to be “a part of our team” are the most valuable resources our firm provides. To ensure we provide a strong base of qualified consulting resources for our clients, QAT Global takes pride in the retention average of our employees. We offer a competitive benefits package and opportunities to grow within the firm. Promotion from within is fostered and encouraged, and the entrepreneurial spirit prevalent in a significant share of the consultants we have found most successful is itself encouraged within QAT Global. Our focus fosters committed employees who believe in and have seen first-hand the difference superior technology can deliver to the user community. This is a fundamental requirement we stress to all persons considering QA Technologies as an employer. We believe that without this mindset, we gravitate toward an everyday contracting concern.

QAT Global’s Human Resources Manager has been with the company since 1999. The role includes maintaining close contact with the consultants and ensuring those matters outside the jurisdiction of the day-to-day technical deliverable responsibilities are being satisfactorily met. Specific examples might include Benefit and Insurance issues, general career path planning, and any miscellaneous support QAT Global may be able to lend to increase employee satisfaction. QAT Global has an exemplary retention rate for foreign national employees. We attribute this success in no small part to the care and diligence taken to ensure smooth transitions to the United States.

Setting employee expectations has been a driving element in keeping QAT Global moving forward. Working together to accomplish set-upon goals, responding to customer issues, enhancing or developing new and innovative ways of doing things, and ultimately delivering for our clients all matter to our company’s overall success.

Clients can integrate talented global technical staff into discrete projects that are “time-boxed” and require specific market or technology expertise through this engagement model.

Technical Staffing: Your Questions Answered About IT Staffing

What is IT staffing?

IT staffing refers to the process of hiring and deploying skilled IT professionals for specific projects or ongoing support. It involves sourcing, screening, and onboarding individuals or teams with the required technical expertise to meet the enterprise’s IT needs.

What is the difference between individual performers and client-managed development teams?

Individual performers are skilled IT professionals who are contracted for independently to work on specific projects or tasks assigned by the client. They typically have expertise in specific technologies or domains and can be hired on a contractual or project basis.

Client-managed development teams, on the other hand, are dedicated teams of IT professionals who are managed directly by the client. They work directly with the client to understand requirements, collaborate on projects, and provide ongoing support. These teams are typically long-term engagements and can be scaled based on the enterprise’s needs.
